Paripūrṇa (परिपूर्ण) refers to “complete”, and is used to describe Śiva, according the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.15. Accordingly as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] On arrival there, after paying respects to the lord [Śiva] with great excitement we lauded Him with various hymns with palms joined in reverence. The Devas said: [...] We eulogise Thee, the imperishable supreme Brahman, the omnipresent whose features are unmanifest, who can be attained by the Yoga of the Soul and is complete (Paripūrṇa)”.

[...] And ‘liberation,’ [apprehended] as consisting of an absolute fullness (paripūrṇa) the essence of which is nothing but the plenitude of a bliss that is not brought about [because in fact it is] innate, [...]—[all these] must belong to the realm of phenomena; otherwise such [things] as the fact that [they] can be desired, the search for the realization of this [desire], their determination [as having] this [particular] form and place, the practice in accordance with [this determination], etc., would [all] be impossible”.
